The Book of Enoch is an ancient apocalyptic text that is not included in the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Bible. However, it is considered to be canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The Book of Enoch contains a number of passages that describe fallen angels, who are also known as demons.
One of the most famous passages in the Book of Enoch about fallen angels is 1 Enoch 6:1-12. This passage describes how 200 angels came down to earth and lusted after the daughters of men. They had sexual relations with the women and fathered children who were known as the Nephilim. The Nephilim were giants who were evil and violent.
The Book of Enoch also describes how the fallen angels taught humanity a variety of forbidden knowledge, such as magic, astrology, and sorcery. This knowledge led to great sin and wickedness on earth.
The Bible also contains a number of passages about fallen angels. One of the most famous passages is Genesis 6:1-4. This passage describes how “the sons of God” saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took them as wives. The offspring of these unions were the Nephilim, who were described as “mighty men of old, men of renown.”
Another passage in the Bible that describes fallen angels is Revelation 12:7-9. This passage describes a war in heaven between Michael and his angels and Satan and his angels. Satan and his angels were defeated and cast down to earth.
The Bible also teaches that fallen angels are still active in the world today. They are described as being enemies of God and of humanity. They seek to deceive and destroy people.
How to Protect Yourself from Fallen Angels
The Bible teaches that there are a number of things that we can do to protect ourselves from fallen angels. First, we need to be aware of their existence and of their tactics. We should also be careful not to get involved in any activities that could open us up to their influence.
Second, we need to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). This armor includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.
Third, we need to pray regularly. Prayer is a powerful weapon against the devil and his angels.
Finally, we need to resist the temptation to sin. Sin gives the devil a foothold in our lives. When we resist temptation, we are closing the door to the devil and his angels.
Conclusion
Fallen angels are real, and they are dangerous. However, we can protect ourselves from them by being aware of their existence, by putting on the full armor of God, by praying regularly, and by resisting temptation.
